This great old-time local melodrama,
which. when originally produced at the
Fifth Avenue theater, New York City,
reached the remarkable run of over 300
nights, will be produced at the opera
house tonight by Lewis Morrison and
his company, it being their last appear
ance in this city. The company carries
the dock scene and the sensational rail-
road set complete, from the BRUSH of
VIM. Voegtlin. The former setting
is especially elaborate, giving birdseye
view of New York at night. The names
of Smokey, the one arms d soldier, Laura
Courtlandt, Peachblosscm, the waf, and
Bermudas, the newsboy, have become
familiar names to American households
only equalled by the famous characters
in '.Uncle Toms Cabin" The frolics of
the wharf rats on Pier 80 is one of the
pretty things of the play, and never
fails to touch every heart.
Miss Alsberg, who arrives to-day from
San Francisco, makes her re-appearance
as Laura Courtlandt. Mr.. Morrison
plays Snorkey, the manned soldier;
Rosabel Morrison, Peachblossom, and
Mr.. Brady plays Bsrmudas, the hoodlum
newsboy.
The sale of seats is already very large
and the house promises % be bumper.
Faust and Marguerite, with all its
beautiful scenery, will be given for the
last time at the matinee to-day.
